The board of directors on Monday accepted a $44 billion offer from Tesla’s CEO. People around the world are coming up with mixed responses since the deal was struck.
On Monday, Jameela Jamil declared on Twitter that she had issued her “last tweet” on the social media network.
Her remark came after Elon Musk paid $44 billion for Twitter. “I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter because that is what free speech means,” Musk said after Twitter announced its new owner.
Jamil, a 36-year-old Londoner, posted four photos of herself holding a puppy on Instagram.
Jamil tweeted, “Ah he got twitter. I would like this to be my what lies here as my last tweet. Just really *any* excuse to show pics of Barold. I fear this free speech bid is going to help this hell platform reach its final form of totally lawless hate, bigotry, and misogyny.”
“Best of luck,” the actress concluded her post, adding a red heart emoji.
Jamil stated in a subsequent tweet, “One good thing about Elon buying twitter is that I will *FINALLY* leave and stop being a complete menace to society on here. So it’s win win for you all really.”
Jamil isn’t the only star who has spoken out against Musk’s takeover of Twitter.

Following the announcement, actor Simu Liu turned to Twitter to ask, “Was there nothing better to do with 44 billion dollars?”
Other celebrities, unlike Jamil and Liu, cheered Musk’s coup.
Monday, Ice Cube tweeted, “Free at last! @elonmusk take off my shadow ban homie…”
The board of directors overwhelmingly approved Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s $44 billion deal to take the social media behemoth private on Monday.
Twitter independent board chairman Brett Taylor stated that the company “conducted a thoughtful and comprehensive process to assess Musk’s proposal with a deliberate focus on value, certainty and financing.”
After all the numbers and tweets, one must get confused regarding the numbers behind the deal and people deserve clarity of funding for the Twitter deal.
Musk, 50, has disclosed the $13 billion in bank funding acquired by the social media business and the $12.5 billion backed by a commitment of some of his $170 billion Tesla Inc. shareholding as part of the $44 billion total. But he’s been tight-lipped about how he’ll pay for the rest.
